"Elgin Marbles"? The Parthenon Marbles, please!
Some years back, She Who Must Be Obeyed and some of her friends went off to London for a few days of sightseeing and shopping. Naturally they went to the British Museum. When they came to the room where the Marbles are displayed, she asked in a loud voice "Elgin, Elgin? Who is this Elgin? A drunken miserable thief, that's who!"
She was asked to leave. I am very proud of her! :)

"She" was absolutely right on the characterization of Elgin as a thief. He and his fellow bandits - the Muslim Turks - who continue to support the international thievery of antiquities - are indeed "drunken miserable thieves"!!!
